Communication according to PROFIdrive
PROFIdrive is the PROFIBUS and PROFINET profile for drive technology with a wide range
of applications in production and process automation systems.
PROFIdrive is independent of the bus system used (PROFIBUS, PROFINET).
Note
PROFIdrive for drive technology is standardized and described in the following document:
